After finishing one side of the camper, it was time to continue on to the front corner... the last corner to repair/replace on the camper!
The windows were removed and the siding detached from the framing as much a possible. We left a few screws up top to support the siding. It would have been a pain to take off and reinstall later!
My smart idea for supporting the siding to be able to reframe the wall and work on the areas behind the bathroom/fridge/closet... Quick Clamps!
Framing the fridge area.
Repair completed and insulation installed where needed prior to reattaching the siding.
Freshly installed windows in their new wood frames. We still need to trim the butyl putty tape and add the gaskets and trim pieces (to be purchased).
While attaching the siding, I took a better photo of the roof. This is the "weather guarded" side of the plywood. Glued and stapled to the roof rafters.
Nearly finished with this side! After taking this photo, I decided on this camper's name... Either Dimples or The Dimple... Because of all the dents, ripples, and general unevenness of the 38 year old camper. :-)
We continued working our way to the back, the front of the camper. Removing, repairing, and reinstalling the windows and any wood framing that was needed.
Here are some various interior photos showing the new wood and framing repairs:
I added some white Gorilla Tape to the corners to help protect them from water until the camper trim is installed (after the new roof is done). Here is the camper now, all windows finished, all siding reattached permanently, and ready for the next step! I'm sure the neighbors are happy it no longer looks like a tornado ran through our yard... We sure are!
Next up... The Roof!!!
Stay tuned,
Sam
